Electric Cloud Applies Machine Learning to DevOps - DevOps.com

Machine learning algorithms are being applied to advance DevOps via analytics software that Electric Cloud is making available as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application. Electric Cloud CTO Anders Wallgren said ElectricFlow DevOps Foresight is made possible because of the massive amounts of data that Electric Cloud is able to acquire providing an application release and continuous delivery platform-as-a-cloud service. Electric Cloud applies predictive analytics against all the data it collects to identify and contrast patterns, which it then uses to generate recommendations to specific DevOps teams based on what's occurring in their local environment, said Wallgren. ElectricFlow DevOps Foresight is able to generate a risk score metric that predicts the probable outcome of a release before being deployed in a production environment. Based on that score, he said, a DevOps team can decide to go ahead and deploy that code or hold it back for further testing.
